Join the adventure of capturing oral histories before the opportunity to do so has passed. Carrie O. E. Jeffery is going to inspire us to write down our stories or the stories of our parents. She will show us how she used a software program, Storyworth, to take the time consuming labour away from the beautiful task of recording her Dad’s life.

Modern technology has made family history easier than ever to research and record. Did you know that in just 12 generations there are at least 8,190 ancestors who contributed to your existence? That's less than 400 years of ancestry.
Wouldn't you like to know the mystery of your own story beyond simple biology? Join us to be inspired. Carrie will get us started.

Carrie: “I grew up in Appin, attended a vocational art school then had a career split between Marketing, Account Management and Interior Design. I lived in BC then moved back to the area, married and retired early. I spent the last two years capturing my father’s stories before his passing this past May.
“The result is a limited edition: A Collection of Short Stories by Murry Lloyd Jeffery 1943 - 2024”
